@@@@@@@@@@@
A tree on Ancestry suggest theses are John and Johanna's gravesites. You can probably find records on Irishgenealogy. Their daughter Mary O'Leary Lyon, died 1957, is also buried with them.
Thanks so much for responses.
Yes that's the correct timespan and family.
The tree mentioned on Ancestry is probably myself, I'm standing alongside it in the photo 😊
Adamo,
Yes, that was the tree I found the gravesites on.
Have you contacted St. Mologa RC Church to see if they are familiar with O'Learys in the area?
Kildorrery - Diocese of Cloyne
If you are planning to go to Ireland again you should fill out the Meet and Greet form on this website. It will bring you in contact with local volunteers.
Thank you Mary, I will certainly do that and also contact the church 🙂
